What is the healthiest type of olive?

Answer 1

They are all pretty good. Black olives gererally have less calories than green. Olives packed in oil have more calories than olives pack in brine.

Answer 2

"Some olives are picked green and unripe, while others are allowed to fully ripen on the tree to a black color. Yet, not all of the black olives available begin with a black color. Some processing methods expose unripe greens olives to the air, and the subsequent oxidation turns them a dark color.

In addition to the original color of the olive determining its finished characteristics, the color is affected by a variety of processing methods that olives undergo including fermentation and/or curing in oil, water, brine or salt. These methods may not only cause the olives to turn black, purple, brown, red, or yellow, but they also affect the skin texture, causing it to be smooth and shiny or wrinkled.

Some of the many available delicious varieties of olives include Moroccan oil-cured, Kalamata, Nicoise, Picholine and Manzanilla. In addition to varying in size and appearance, the flavor of olives spans the range from sour to smoky to bitter to acidic. In addition to whole olives, you can often find them pitted. "

The ones with the most oil would be the healthiest. I suggest blending green and kalamata, and getting the freshest, most olive oily ones. Stay away from canned products (that can be applied to any food, though.)
